This is the de-mozillaed Firefox right? I’ve heard of it recently too. IPFS sounds really cool but isn’t it a dud because it uses a singular gateway or something?

No, you're thinking of LibreWolf. This is like an IPFS browser that interprets markdown to render simple sites within the IPFS network

Now Markdown needs a decent spec, but that is cool

I always forget, is CommonMark good enough? Like with table and image support?

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 1 week ago

I like it! It's not much more than good enough, but that's good enough

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yup. If the standard gets too complicated, it starts to get hard to implement and use, and feature restriction might be necessary for certain use-cases. We want to keep it "good enough" because that ensures it's simple and easy to use, rather than something more capable but more complex like HTML.

If you have a moment, could you enlighten me as to what this singular gateway LibreWolf uses refers to per the top level users comment? Thanks.

They weren't talking about LibreWolf when making the comment about the singular gateway, they were talking about IPFS. But it's right there, you can read it again. Or even ask the original commenter, either by directly replying to them or by tagging them, e.g. @ComradeMiao@lemmy.world can you answer @golden_zealot@lemmy.ml's question?
